1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We have previously demonstrated that it is possible to effectively vaccinate against long-term murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gamma HV68) latency by using a reactivation-deficient virus as a vaccine (S. A. Tibbetts, J. S. McClellan, S. Gangappa, S. H. Speck, and H. W. Virgin IV, J. Virol. 77:2522-2529, 2003). Immune antibody was capable of recapitulating aspects of this vaccination. This led us to determine whether antibody is required for vaccination against latency. Using mice lacking antigen-specific antibody responses, we demonstrate here that antibody and B cells are not required for vaccination against latency. We also show that surveillance of latent infection in normal animals depends on CD4 and CD8 T cells, suggesting that T cells might be capable of preventing the establishment of latency. In the absence of an antibody response, CD4 T cells but not CD8 T cells are required for effective vaccination against latency in peritoneal cells, while either CD4 or CD8 T cells can prevent the establishment of splenic latency. Therefore, CD4 T cells play a critical role in immune surveillance of gammaherpesvirus latency and can mediate vaccination against latency in the absence of antibody responses.
